| 2012-04-12 | cp: change --attributes-only to not truncate existing files | Pádraig Brady | |
| * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't truncate an existing file, to support copying attributes between existing files. The original use case only considered creating new files, and it would be a very unusual use case to be relying on the truncating behavior. * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Mention the non truncating behavior. * tests/cp/attr-existing: A new test to ensure O_TRUNC skipped. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. | |||
